Everything that was going to go wrong turned out like this at Anfield, and that is a blow that is not easy to take. They try it in Liverpool but it is not that simple.
In the sights there are several, but none like goalkeeper Alisson Becker. Luckily the technician Jurguen Klopp has defended him to death, although his explanations are … exotic.
“You can’t choose when you make mistakes, you can only learn from it. Today’s have been decisive, but … How many times has he saved our lives? He is a world-class goalkeeper, but today he failed. He would be cold.” said.
Cold? The best archer in the world? They were two very punctual errors that cost two goals from which Liverpool could not get up against a Manchester City that gave them a 1-4 that could be even more bulky. Cold … sounds strange in the designated one and in his defender. Cold at heart you must have today, one day after a debacle.
But Klopp did not stop there and assured that, despite the win, his team did not play badly: “I want my players to understand that if they always played as we have done almost the entire game, we would have more points … In the first half We have played well, at times I would say very well. I look at your eyes and I see that you don’t think the same thing (he says, annoyed, to the interviewer) “, he said. He was not the only journalist he criticized for criticizing his pupils … That’s life.
More thoughtful seemed Jordan Henderson, the captain, who on his social networks said: “Sometimes you can learn more from these times and we will give everything to change our current situation. You will never walk alone.
Van Dijk, the injured cruciate ligament central defender, which Liverpool, Klopp and all Anfield fans miss so much, joined his captain’s publication with supportive emojis … Just because of his absence, which adds to other casualties more, Henderson had to play improvised central with Fabinho … and what happened happened.
